Description

Display device

The application is that the application number that proposed on February 2nd, 2007 is dividing an application of 200780009916.1 application of the same name.

Technical field

The present invention relates to display device, in more detail, relate to the display device of the reflecting & transmitting two-purpose type of display image in seeing through zone and reflector space both sides.

Background technology

Now, liquid crystal indicator be used in just widely monitor, projector, portable phone, portable data assistance (below be also referred to as " PDA ".) in the electronic equipment that waits.In this liquid crystal indicator, have reflection-type, infiltration type and reflecting & transmitting two-purpose type kinds such as (semi-transmission types).The liquid crystal indicator of reflection-type reflects it with reflection part, thereby obtains display light through light on every side being imported to the inside of display panels.In addition, the liquid crystal indicator of infiltration type through will from the light source of the rear side that is arranged on display panels (below be also referred to as " backlight ".) light import to panel inside, light is injected to the outside through panel, thereby obtains display light.

Relative therewith, in the liquid crystal indicator of reflecting & transmitting two-purpose type, under the darker environment of indoor grade; Transmission display with the light that utilizes backlight is main the observation; On the other hand, under the brighter environment of outdoor grade, be shown as main the observation with the reflection that utilizes ambient light.Therefore, can with on every side brightness irrespectively, realize that contrast is than high demonstration.That is, though the liquid crystal indicator indoor and outdoor of reflecting & transmitting two-purpose type can under all environment, show, so carry in the movable equipment of portable phone, PDA, digital camera etc. more.

In the liquid crystal indicator of this reflecting & transmitting two-purpose type, in display panels, be formed with reflector space and see through 2 types of regional viewing areas.In seeing through the zone, the light that shines from backlight only just injects to the outside 1 time through liquid crystal layer and colored filter.On the other hand, in reflector space,, make it once more through injecting to the outside behind liquid crystal layer and the colored filter by the ambient light of reflection part reflecting & transmitting colored filter and liquid crystal layer.Like this, in seeing through zone and reflector space, generate display light with the different light source that is called backlight light and ambient light.In addition, the color reproduction scope of transmission display obtains for 1 time through only making the light transmission colored filter, and is relative therewith, and the color reproduction scope that reflection shows obtains for 2 times through making the light transmission colored filter.

Here, employed colored filter is made up of red, green and primary colors optical filter in existing liquid crystal indicator, the color of the light that penetrates from each colored filter, and the additive color mixing through red, green and primary colors shows.But because only use this three primary colors optical filter, the color reproduction scope is restricted, so can not show whole colors that the mankind can discover.Therefore, in recent years, the utilization ratio that enlarges color reproduction scope and raising light as purpose, is proposed to have the scheme of 4 looks above colored filter.For example, in patent documentation 1, disclose the colored filter have use in red, green and primary colors, to append 4 yellow looks (below be also referred to as " 4 colo(u)r filter ".)。In addition, in these 4 looks, blue have complementary color with Huang and concern, in addition, red and green and blue and Huang are respectively the combinations of the opposite color consistent with the mankind's visual characteristic.

, display device important display performance is a white balance.White balance is the tone of the white that shown by display device, and mainly the structure according to the color harmony colored filter of light source determines.This white balance is used color temperature (have and equate with the colourity of certain light or the absolute temperature of the black matrix of approximate colourity) performance quantitatively more, and is general, in showing the device of TV image etc., needs the above color temperature of 6500K.

When using 4 colo(u)r filters,, can cause significant impact to white balance although can realize the expansion of color reproduction scope and the raising of brightness as the colored filter of liquid crystal indicator.For example; In the liquid crystal indicator that comprises the light source consistent, when the three primary colors optical filter is changed to 4 colo(u)r filters, because the color temperature step-down of colored filter with the dichroism of three primary colors optical filter; So the white balance collapse causes having yellow sense by the white that display device shows.

Here, about the white balance of transmission display,,, can improve so pass through the tone of the light source of adjustment backlight because backlight light is used as light source.But, about the reflection of ambient light as light source shown, because be difficult to improve white balance, so, also can between transmission display and reflection demonstration, in white balance, produce big difference even if can improve the white balance of transmission display.

Therefore, also can consider to become best mode, the method for in advance structure of 4 colo(u)r filters being adjusted so that reflect the white balance that shows.For example, can consider that the thickness through making blue color filter is extremely thin, the method that the contribution as the blueness of yellow complementary color is increased.But,, can not obtain not having the white of yellow sense even if make the thickness of blue color filter thin.In addition; When carrying out this design alteration; Blue excitation diminishes, and the result causes showing look and (National Television System Committee: NTSC) color that obtains of use 3 colo(u)r filters of standard differs widely according to NTSC.

First display device of the present invention, have usually tft array substrate and relatively between the substrate clamping display panels of liquid crystal layer is arranged, above-mentioned 4 looks above optical filter is arranged on relative substrate-side usually.But; According to this mode, because when occurrence positions departed from during with relative substrate at bonding TFT substrate, aperture opening ratio reduced; So in order to prevent this phenomenon; Also can on the contrary, tft array (TFT on CF) can be set on optical filter also at tft array substrate side configuration optical filter (CF on Array).Light-blocking members such as BM also can likewise be arranged on relative substrate-side with the optical filter more than 4 looks usually.But being configured in the tft array substrate side also can (BM on Array).

In addition, first display device of the present invention still is that each optical filter comprises the light transmission that makes backlight and the seeing through the zone and ambient light is reflected and the display device of the reflector space of display image of display image.That is, first display device of the present invention is because be the display device of reflecting & transmitting two-purpose type (semi-transmission type), thus can make backlight light transmission and display image transmission display and ambient light reflected and the reflection of display image shows both.In addition,, in each optical filter more than 4 look, be provided with,, can enlarge the color reproduction scope effectively so show both about transmission display and reflection through zone and reflector space because in first display device of the present invention.

The above-mentioned zone that sees through is meant the zone that is used for transmission display, in this zone, on each tft array substrate that constitutes display panels and substrate relatively, is formed with the transparent conductivity parts that are used on liquid crystal layer, applying voltage usually.The transparent conductivity parts of tft array substrate side are usually in the zone of each optical filter (sub-pixel), and that promptly strides optical filter wholely sees through zone and reflector space and form.In addition, the transparent conductivity parts of substrate-side are all forming as common electrode in the pixel usually relatively.Do not limit as the material of transparent conductivity parts is special, can enumerate tin indium oxide (ITO) etc.Do not limit as backlight is special, both can be under type, also can be edge-light type.Do not limit as the light source of backlight is special; But for the white balance that makes transmission display is suitably changed; Preferably make luminescent spectrum be suitable for the dichroism of optical filter, for example, can use light emitting diode (LED), cold cathode fluorescent tube (CCFT), thermic cathode fluorimetric pipe (HCFT) etc.

Above-mentioned reflector space is the zone that is used to reflect demonstration, in this zone, is formed with reflection part and transparent conductivity parts at the tft array substrate lateral root that constitutes display panels according to needs usually, is formed with the transparent conductivity parts in relative substrate-side.In this manual, reflection part is meant in fact all reflect visible light, specifically, strides the long zone of visible all-wave of 380～780nm, and light reflectivity is at the parts more than 70%.The light reflectivity of reflection part is preferably striden the long zone of visible all-wave of 380～780nm, more than 80%.Do not limit as the material of reflection part is special, can enumerate the alloy of aluminium, silver or these metals etc., but preferred the use striden the aluminium, chromium, tungsten etc. that visible all-wave length zone has wide light reflectivity.Reflection part also can have the function as the electrode that is used on liquid crystal layer, applying voltage, when working as electrode, is also referred to as reflecting electrode.When reflection part does not work as electrode, preferably in reflector space, form electrode in addition, usually, the transparent conductivity parts replace reflecting electrode.Reflection part both can be in order to have improved the light utilization ratio, and surface working is become concavo-convex etc., has light scattering property, also can process minute surface.When processing minute surface, light scattering layer is set in addition preferably.And light scattering layer also can be used in combination with light scattering property when reflection part has light scattering property.

In above-mentioned reflector space, be provided with thickness in the reflector space that makes liquid crystal layer usually than seeing through the little trapezoidal parts of thickness in the zone (below be also referred to as " many clearance layer ").Many clearance layer both can be configured in the tft array substrate side, also can be configured in relative substrate-side, but in order to improve aperture opening ratio, preferred disposition is in relative substrate-side.Do not limit as the material of many clearance layer is special, but be configured in when more leaning on the sightingpiston side than reflection part in many clearance layer, because the demonstration grade that the optical characteristics of many clearance layer influence reflection shows, so preferably suitably select.For the optical path length that makes the optical path length in the reflector space and see through in the zone equates, the thickness of many clearance layer preferably be about through the thickness of the liquid crystal layer in the zone (below be also referred to as " element thickness ".) roughly 1/2.

In addition, display device of the present invention both can have been equipped so-called front light-source (front light), also can be when reflection show, and with ambient light and use front light-source.

In first display device of the present invention, above-mentioned pixel is between the optical filter of at least 2 looks, and is different by the area ratio of the represented reflector space of above-mentioned formula (1).According to this point, because through corresponding, adjust the area ratio of the reflector space of each optical filter with the dichroism of optical filter, can adjust the white balance that reflection shows, so can reach suitableization of the white balance of reflection demonstration.In addition, because the color temperature of the light source through the adjustment backlight or see through element thickness in the zone etc. and can adjust the white balance of transmission display, so can reduce the difference of transmission display and the reflection white balance between showing.

Useful area as the optical filter of the denominator on the right in the above-mentioned formula (1) is meant in disposing the zone of optical filter, can be used in the area in the zone that transmission display and reflection show.Useful area (the EF of optical filter _AR) every kind of color decision of pressing optical filter, a kind of color is being provided with under the situation of 1 optical filter in 1 pixel, by each optical filter decision.Usually, through from optical filter, see through electrode and reflecting electrode overlapping areas (below be also referred to as " effective coverage ".) area (F _AR) deduct the area (O of light-blocking member overlapping areas with the profile that constitutes sub-pixel _FB), can try to achieve the useful area (EF of optical filter _AR).For example, like Fig. 1 (a) with (b), dispose under the situation of optical filter 5a working as dike and have between black matrix (dike BM) 10BM of vertical side, because the zone (O that does not exist optical filter 5a and black matrix 10BM to repeat _FB=0), so can be with the area (F of the effective coverage of optical filter 5a _AR) self is as the useful area (EF of optical filter 5a _AR) (EF _AR=F _AR).In addition, like Fig. 2 (a) with (b), when disposing optical filter 5a between the black matrix 10BM with inclined side; Like Fig. 3 (a) with (b), when black matrix 10BM is provided with dike 9, when between dike 9, being provided with optical filter 5a; Like Fig. 4 (a) with (b), between dike 9, be provided with optical filter 5a, when being provided with black matrix 10BM with the mode that covers dike 9, can be with area (F from the effective coverage of optical filter 5a _AR) in deduct effective coverage and the overlapping area (O of black matrix 10BM of optical filter 5a _FB) result who obtains regards the useful area (EF of optical filter 5a as _AR) (EF _AR=F _AR-O _FB).Further, like Fig. 5 (a) with (b), when between optical filter, being provided with the BM (look overlapping BM) that the optical filter that overlaps different colours forms, can be with area (F from the effective coverage of per 1 pixel of optical filter 5a _AR) in deduct the area (O of look overlapping BM part _FF) result who obtains regards the useful area (EF of optical filter as _AR=F _AR-O _FF).

The useful area of above-mentioned optical filter as long as the area ratio of reflector space satisfies above-mentioned condition, can be identical between whole optical filters then, also can be identical between the optical filter of part group, also can be different between the optical filters all.In addition; When in 1 pixel, being provided with a plurality of homochromy optical filter; The area sum of the reflector space of a plurality of homochromy optical filters becomes the area of reflector space of the optical filter of this look, and the useful area sum of a plurality of homochromy optical filters becomes the useful area of the optical filter of this look.That is, when in 1 pixel, being provided with a plurality of homochromy optical filter, the area of the reflector space of a plurality of homochromy optical filters becomes the area ratio of reflector space than sum.

Area as the reflector space of the molecule on the right in the above-mentioned formula (1) is meant in disposing the zone of optical filter, can be used in the area in the zone that reflection shows.Area (the R of reflector space _AR) every kind of color decision of pressing optical filter, in 1 pixel, a kind of color settings is had under the situation of 1 optical filter, by each optical filter decision.Area (the R of reflector space _AR) usually as representing in the effective coverage of optical filter with the area of reflection part (reflecting electrode) overlapping areas.

Area (the R of above-mentioned reflector space _AR), as long as the area of reflector space is than (R _AR/ EF _AR) satisfy above-mentioned condition, can between the optical filter of whole colors, be identical then, also can be identical between the optical filter of part group, also can be different between the optical filters all.In addition, when in 1 pixel, being provided with a plurality of homochromy optical filter, the area sum of the reflector space of a plurality of homochromy optical filters becomes the area (R of reflector space of the optical filter of this look _AR).

The area of above-mentioned reflector space is than (R _AR/ EF _AR), about the optical filter of whole looks, bigger and littler than 1 than 0.Can think the area ratio of preferred reflector space, for example in laying particular stress on reflection-type (reflective-conscious) or reflection-type, near 0.50～1.00 value, in little reflection-type, for roughly below 0.30.In addition, the area of above-mentioned reflector space ratio as long as different between the optical filter of 2 looks, also can be arranged on the area of reflector space in the same pixel than identical optical filter at least.In addition, so-called " area of reflector space is than different " be meant preferred reflector space area than the difference of having only 0.05～0.80.The difference that compares when the area of reflector space has the worry that can not adjust the white balance that reflection shows less than 0.05 the time, when surpassing 0.80, has the worry of the white balance that can not obtain transmission display.

First display device of the present invention as long as have said structure, then both can have the textural element that also can not have other, did not have special qualification.The characteristic of first display device of the present invention is to make between the optical filter of at least 2 looks; Area ratio by the represented reflector space of above-mentioned formula (1) is different; But the relation by the represented area ratio that sees through the zone of following formula (5) about the optical filter of this at least 2 look does not have special qualification.So; Between the area of reflector space is than the optical filter of at least 2 different looks; Make the area that sees through the zone more basic identical than relation than the area of relation and reflector space; As the light source (light source of backlight) of transmission display, the light source of the dichroism that the light source (ambient light) that use has and reflection shows is approximate (light source D for example commonly used ₆₅Deng) structure be also included within the scope of the present invention.Even if according to this structure, also can be in the white balance that the adjustment reflection shows, the difference of the white balance between reduction transmission display and reflection show.In addition; The area that sees through the zone for example is meant at (area of the reflector space of first optical filter than): (area of the reflector space of second optical filter than)=X1: Y1 (under the situation of X1 ≠ Y1), mean (area that sees through the zone of first optical filter than): (the area ratio that sees through the zone of second optical filter)=X1: Y1 than relation is basic identical than the area of relation and reflector space.

But, make the area that sees through the zone than the area of relation and reflector space than the essentially identical restriction of relation, might in sub-pixel, produce does not have the inactive area (light shielding part etc.) contributed to showing, from the viewpoint of aperture opening ratio and not preferred.So,, preferably use optical characteristics and light source D commonly used as the light source of backlight ₆₅Etc. different light sources, be more preferably and use color temperature than light source D commonly used ₆₅Light source Deng high (blue sense is strong).Promptly; In order to reduce the difference of the white balance between transmission display and the reflection demonstration effectively, preferred pixel is between the optical filter of at least 2 looks, and the area of reflector space is more different with the area ratio relation that sees through the zone than relation; Specifically; When supposition was carried out the white demonstration with same light source, the white that preferably shows with reflector space saw through the regional white that shows than using, and color temperature is high.Therefore, can when fully guaranteeing aperture opening ratio, respectively reflection be shown and transmission display, can white balance suitably changed.

The optimal way of first display device of the present invention at length is described below.

The above-mentioned first display device preferred disposition has a part of overlapping photomask with the optical filter of at least 1 look, the optical filter of above-mentioned at least 2 looks by the area of the represented photomask of following formula (2) than difference.

The area of the photomask (than)=(with the area of a part of stacked photomask of optical filter)/(useful area of optical filter) (2)

According to this point because through with the dichroism of optical filter correspondingly, the area of adjustment and a part of stacked photomask of optical filter than (below be also referred to as " first area of photomask than ".), can easily adjust the area ratio of the reflector space of optical filter, so the white balance that reflection is shown is suitably changed.

In this manual, photomask is meant in order to adjust the area ratio by the represented reflector space of above-mentioned formula (1) of each optical filter, and is configured in the film with light-proofness in the sub-pixel.So because to the light-blocking member same optical characteristics of photomask requirement with the profile that constitutes sub-pixel, therefore preferred by constituting with the same material of light-blocking member, complicated in order not make manufacturing process, preferably be provided with integratedly with this light-blocking member.And when integratedly photomask and light-blocking member being set, the part that is configured in the sub-pixel is equivalent to photomask, and the part that constitutes the profile of sub-pixel is equivalent to light-blocking member.

In addition, at the useful area (EF that calculates as the optical filter of the denominator on the right in the above-mentioned formula (2) _AR) time, as stated, from the useful area (EF of optical filter _AR) in remove the area (O of optical filter and light-blocking member overlapping areas _FB).Relative therewith, with the area (O of a part of stacked photomask of optical filter _FB'), show with reflection although can not the zone that dispose photomask be used for transmission display, as the useful area (EF that constitutes optical filter _AR) part handle.

First area ratio of above-mentioned photomask for the optical filter of whole looks, is more than 0 and littler than 1.Be preferably 0～0.70.In addition, first area ratio of above-mentioned photomask, as long as different between the optical filter of at least 2 looks, then first area of photomask can be arranged in the same pixel than identical optical filter.

Area with a part of stacked photomask of above-mentioned optical filter; As long as first area ratio of photomask satisfies above-mentioned condition; Then both can be identical between the optical filter of whole looks, also can be identical between the optical filter of the group of a part, also can be different between the optical filter of whole looks.In addition, when in 1 subpixels, being provided with a plurality of photomask, the area sum of a plurality of photomasks becomes the area with a part of stacked photomask of this optical filter.

In addition, from can when fully guarantee to see through the aperture opening ratio in zone, only adjusting the viewpoint of the area ratio of reflector space and set out a part of overlay configuration of the reflector space of preferred photomask and optical filter.

The above-mentioned first display device preferred disposition has the photomask of a part of the optical filter of replacement at least 1 look, the optical filter of above-mentioned at least 2 looks by the area of the represented photomask of following formula (3) than different.

The area of the photomask (than)=(replacing the part of optical filter and the area of the photomask that disposes)/(useful area of optical filter) (3)

According to this point because through with the dichroism of optical filter correspondingly, adjustment replace the part of optical filter and the area of the photomask that disposes than (below be also referred to as " second area of photomask than ".), can easily adjust the area ratio of the reflector space of optical filter, so the white balance that reflection is shown is suitably changed.

In addition, can not be used for transmission display and show, at the useful area (EF that calculates as the optical filter of the denominator on the right in the above-mentioned formula (3) with reflection although dispose the zone of photomask _AR) time, also will replace the part of optical filter and the area (O of the photomask that disposes _FB") is as the useful area (EF that constitutes optical filter _AR) part handle.

The second area ratio of above-mentioned photomask for the optical filter of whole looks, also is more than 0 and littler than 1.Be preferably 0～0.70.In addition, the second area of above-mentioned photomask ratio, as long as different between the optical filter of at least 2 looks, then the second area of photomask can be arranged in the same pixel than identical optical filter.

The area of the photomask that replaces the part of above-mentioned optical filter and dispose; As long as the second area ratio of photomask satisfies above-mentioned condition; Then can be identical between the optical filter of whole looks, also can be identical between the optical filter of the group of a part, also can be different between the optical filter of whole looks.In addition, when in 1 subpixels, being provided with a plurality of photomask, the area sum of a plurality of photomasks becomes a part that replaces this optical filter and the area of the photomask that disposes.

In addition, from can when fully guarantee to see through the aperture opening ratio in zone, only adjusting the viewpoint of the area ratio of reflector space and set out, preferred photomask replace optical filter reflector space a part and dispose.

Above-mentioned first display device preferably disposes reflection part at each optical filter, the optical filter of above-mentioned at least 2 looks by the reflection part of the represented correspondence of following formula (4) and the area that sees through electrode than different.

(reflection part and the area ratio that sees through electrode)=(area of reflection part)/(seeing through the area of electrode) (4)

According to this point; Because through with the dichroism of optical filter correspondingly; The area ratio of the reflection part that adjustment is corresponding with optical filter can be adjusted the area ratio by the represented reflector space of above-mentioned formula (1) of optical filter, so the white balance that reflection is shown is suitably changed.

Above-mentioned reflection part is meant and,, forms in the zone of each optical filter (sub-pixel) usually in the tft array substrate side at the formed parts of the reflector space of optical filter for ambient light is reflected and display image.In addition, reflection part also can be the reflecting electrode that is used on liquid crystal layer, applying voltage.Above-mentioned see through electrode be meant be used on liquid crystal layer, applying voltage the transparent conductivity parts, usually in the tft array substrate side, in the zone of each optical filter (sub-pixel), form.

Above-mentioned first display device preferably is provided with Red lightscreening plate, green color filter, blue color filter and yellow filter in each pixel.Like this, the structure of appending yellow filter in the optical filter of red through being formed on, green and primary colors shows both for transmission display and reflection, can guarantee the standardized while of high NTSC, more effectively enlarges the color reproduction scope and improves brightness.

Above-mentioned yellow filter, preferably by the area ratio of the represented reflector space of above-mentioned formula (1), than the optical filter of other any one look by the area of the represented reflector space of above-mentioned formula (1) than little.Usually; Color temperature as the ambient light that reflects the light source that shows is lower than the light source of the backlight of the light source that is used as transmission display; If the structure that makes the optical filter in the reflector space is with identical through the structure of the optical filter in the zone, the white that then causes reflecting demonstration has yellow sense.So the area of the reflector space through making yellow filter is littler than relatively, the white that can inhibitory reflex shows has yellow sense.

Above-mentioned yellow filter; The white that shows for further inhibitory reflex has yellow sense; The area of preferred reflector space is than likening area into the reflector space of the blue color filter of the complementary color of yellow at least to than little; Be more preferably area than the reflector space of green color filter than also little, be more preferably at whole looks optical filter reflector space area than in for minimum.

Above-mentioned yellow filter preferably with blue color filter in abutting connection with configuration, the area of the reflector space of blue color filter is to the expansion of the reflector space of yellow filter.According to this point; Because can increase the reflector space of blue color filter; And the zone that sees through of not reducing blue color filter, so need not adjust the spectrum (stressing blue) of backlight for the white balance of keeping transmission display more, the brightness that can suppress transmission display reduces.

Compare as the area by the represented reflector space of above-mentioned formula (1) of above-mentioned yellow filter other any one look optical filter by the area of the represented reflector space of above-mentioned formula (1) than little mode, can enumerate following mode: (A) yellow filter by the represented area that sees through the zone of following formula (5) than with the optical filter of all other look by the represented area that sees through the zone of following formula (5) than essentially identical mode; (B) yellow filter by the represented area that sees through the zone of following formula (5) than the represented area that sees through the zone by following formula (5) of the optical filter of whole looks than in be the mode of maximum.

(seeing through the area ratio in zone)=(seeing through the area in zone)/(useful area of optical filter) (5)

According to the mode of above-mentioned (A) because with the area that sees through zone and reflector space than be that identical existing mode is identical between the optical filter of whole looks, see through regional area than basic identical, so can easily adjust the white balance of transmission display.In addition; Mode according to above-mentioned (B); Because frequently existing mode is big for the area that sees through the zone of yellow filter, thus have the worry that the white of transmission display has yellow sense, but because the color temperature of the light source through the adjustment backlight can make the white balance of transmission display suitably change; So can in the white balance of suitably keeping transmission display, make transmission display bright.

In other words, the mode of above-mentioned (A) be see through the zone between the optical filter of whole looks of in same pixel, being provided with area than essentially identical mode.As the optimal way of (A), for example, can enumerate following mode: (A-1) dispose photomask overlappingly, the mode that the part of the reflector space of yellow filter is carried out shading through a part with yellow filter; (A-2) dispose photomask through a part that replaces yellow filter, the mode that the reflector space of yellow filter is narrowed down.Because these modes are the modes that can access through the designing institute that appends photomask or change light-blocking member, thus the pattern of electrode or the light source of backlight etc. need do not changed, preferred in this.In addition, in (A-2) mode, photomask also can be provided with the light-blocking member of the profile that constitutes yellow filter integratedly.

(2) transmission display is tested with the display quality that reflection shows

(2-1) computing method of color temperature

Liquid crystal indicator about embodiment 1～6, comparative example 1, reference example 1 and 2 relates to the evaluation test of white balance.Usually, white balance is with color temperature (the white color temperature that shows) performance.So in this evaluation test, (x y), calculates color temperature (color temperature relatively) T with following formula (6) to the chromaticity coordinate of the XYZ color specification system (CIE1931 standard scale colour system) when employing is carried out the white demonstration by liquid crystal indicator _cMethod (MaCcamy, C.S., Correlatedcolor temperature as an explicit function of chromaticitycoordinates, ColorRes, Appl.17,142-144 (1992)).

T _c＝-437n ³+3601n ²-6861n+5514.31 (6)

N in the formula is expressed as n=(x-0.3320)/(y-0.1858)

(2-2) assay method of the white balance of transmission display

Embodiment 1～6, comparative example 1, reference example 1 and 2 liquid crystal indicator are because carry out transmission display with red, green, blue and yellow 4 colo(u) r filter 10R, 10G, 10B and 10Y; So when using the consistent light source of dichroism with red, green and blue three primary colors optical filter 10R, 10G and 10B; White balance is collapsed in yellow side, the color temperature step-down.So, for the white balance with transmission display is adjusted into the best, with light source α～γ of Figure 19 light source as backlight 36, the color temperature when measuring white demonstration the in the transmission display.

In addition, light source α～γ sends the light than the blue sense of band that employed light source colour temperature is high in the mode of being carried out transmission display by red, green and blue three primary colors optical filter.Shown in figure 19, the luminescent spectrum of light source α～γ is different each other, and the blue sense of this expression is different each other.More particularly, a little less than the blueness sense of light source γ (color temperature is minimum), the blueness sense of light source α is (color temperature is the highest) the most by force.

(2-3) assay method of the white balance of reflection demonstration

Liquid crystal indicator uses ambient light when reflecting demonstration as light source.In its evaluation test, will be near light source D ₆₅The light source that shows as reflection of light source, the chromaticity coordinate when measuring white the demonstration (x, y).In addition, Figure 20 representes D ₆₅The spectrum of light source.

The difference evaluation of the white balance between (2-4) transmission display and reflection show

Generally, the color temperature of the white that reflection shows is 5000～12000K, if the difference of the color temperature of the white of reflection demonstration and transmission display below 2000K, then can keep transmission display and reflection to show both demonstration grades well.Through the method for above-mentioned (2-1)～(2-3), the color temperature when calculating white demonstration that transmission display and reflection show is used these results, calculates color temperature between pattern poor (below be called " difference between pattern ").The result is as shown in table 2.

[table 2]

In comparative example 1, shown in Fig. 9 and above-mentioned table 1, because the area of the reflector space Ya of yellow filter 10Y is than identical with other three primary colors optical filter, so the color temperature of the white that reflection shows is lower than 4000K, white balance is collapsed in yellow side.In addition, difference is bigger than 2000K between pattern, in the demonstration image quality that transmission display and reflection show, produces big difference.

Relative therewith; In embodiment 1～6; Because through enlarging the regional Yb that sees through by zone of deceiving matrix 10BM shading or yellow filter 10Y; It is little that the area of the reflector space Ya of yellow filter 10Y compares other three primary colors optical filter, so the white balance that can inhibitory reflex shows collapse in yellow side, can the color temperature of the white of reflection demonstration be remained on more than the 5000K.In addition; In these embodiments, in the scope that white balance is allowed to, through using the reflector space Ya of yellow filter 10Y; Compare with the reference example 1 and 2 of the reflector space Ya that does not use yellow filter 10Y, can improve brightness and color reproduction scope that reflection shows.

In addition; In embodiment 2,4 and 6; Because can and increase the area ratio that sees through regional Yb of yellow filter 10Y, so can improve the brightness of transmission display so that the area ratio of the reflector space Ya of yellow filter 10Y reduces; And through using the strongest light source α of blue sense, the white balance that can suppress transmission display is collapsed to yellow side.

Further; In embodiment 3～6; Because through enlarging reflector space Ba as the blue color filter 10B of yellow complementary color; Can will reflect when the white balance that shows remains on proper range, it is big to make the area of the reflector space Ya of yellow filter 10Y compare embodiment 1 and 2, so can further improve the brightness of reflection demonstration.

Further, in embodiment 5 and 6, the area of the reflector space Ra through making the low Red lightscreening plate 10R of color temperature can further improve the white balance that reflection shows than little.

(4) variation of embodiment 2

As the variation of the dot structure in the embodiment 2, can enumerate the mode of Figure 23.This mode is that yellow filter 10Y and blue color filter 10B dispose in abutting connection with ground, and the area of the reflector space Ba of blue color filter 10B is to the reflector space Ya of yellow filter 10Y expansion.According to this mode; Because that need not reduce blue color filter 10B for the reflector space Ba that increases blue color filter 10B sees through area B b; So need not do further spectrum adjustment (stressing blue) to the backlight of the white balance that is used to keep transmission display, the brightness that can suppress transmission display reduces.

(5) variation of embodiment

The display device of embodiment of the present invention is to utilize the transmission display of light of backlight as domination under dark environment, on the other hand, is being that reflection of light shows as domination around utilizing under the bright environment.But, be not limited thereto, also can according to light intensity on every side correspondingly, any side who selects transmission display and reflection to show, to each selected display mode, the mode of the driving method of switchable liquid crystal constitutes.
